Project summary
The site was identified by Windlab in 2006.
A 60 m wind monitoring mast was installed in May 2008 in order to accurately measure the wind regime.
Wind monitoring is continuing at the site. Pre-feasibility studies have also commenced.
A flora and fauna assessment of the site was undertaken in 2008. It showed that there are no known environmental factors that will limit the development of the project. Further studies will be completed once transmission line easements have been specified.
